Development of a Clinically Relevant Rabbit Model of Acute Laryngeal Injury.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objectives: Acute Laryngeal Injury (ALgI) is created as a result of endotracheal tube pressure ulcer formation leading to fibrosis and inflammation. This condition often leads to airway obstruction and voice and swallowing dysfunction. This study demonstrates a reliable animal model of ALgI to reproduce the acute wound process seen clinically, to explore the pathophysiology of this disease process, and serve as a reproducible injury suitable for the evaluation of therapeutic interventions. Methods: An ALgI model was developed in New Zealand White rabbits using precise mucosal stripping of the posterior larynx, followed by intubation with an oversized 4.0 endotracheal tube for one hour to mimic intubation-associated trauma and pressure ischemia. Laryngoscopy and laryngeal harvest were performed two weeks post-injury for histologic and immunofluorescent evaluation. Results: Injured rabbits demonstrated an eight-fold increase in posterior glottic thickness (1.57mm vs. 0.19mm in controls; p=0.0004) and eleven-fold increase in collagen content (1.93mm Conclusions: The model offers a robust platform for studying the acute pathogenesis of laryngeal injury and for testing the treatment options in the management of ALgI. Level of Evidence: Level III.
